A SCANNER DARKLY's illustrated version of Philip Dick's
classic science fiction novel consists entirely of stills from the
animated motion picture of the same name, packing into book for a
process which uses live action photography and animation. One
wouldn't think this movie method would translate well into a
book--but it does, providing a brilliant color layout of graphic arts accenting a fast-paced story set in Orange County CA, where the war on
drugs has been lost. Fans of the novel and/or film should add A SCANNER
DARKLY's graphic novel to their libraries.
